Table 3. Number selectivity.

Activations for numbers > object names (number selectivity) for conceptual tasks only, conceptual > perceptual judgments, quantity and non-quantity judgments only in Analysis 1 (RTs modeled separately for numbers and object names) and for conceptual tasks only in Analysis 2 (RTs modeled over number & object names).
